quick question,
I downloaded some binaries from xanth with .uu?.Z extensions.
I fiddled with them but couldn't zoo or uudecode them. What should I
do to extract the files?

What should I > do to extract the files? .Z indicates a compressed file, made with the compress utility found on many UNIX machines (and available for the Amiga). If you don't have it, the source is available also from xanth as /pub/compress.tar. ...tad

What should I >do to extract the files? Use "compress". It's a reasonably standard Unix utility, and available for the Amiga on Fish Disk 51 (yes, Fifty-One; I don't know if there's a newer version available). You may need to uudecode or un-zoo them (or both) after you uncompress them. -- ---------------------------------------------------+--------------------------- If there's a byte of data in the computer but no | Steve King (708) 991-8056 pointer is pointing to it, then it isn't really | ...uunet!motcid!king there. | ...ddsw1!palnet!stevek
